Python
This is required only for the Workers running the jobtypes that are Python-controlled. If there are none that are used, then this is an optional install, but more and more of the Qube jobtypes are being written in Python.
Typically, Linux and Mac OS X come with Python already installed. If not, RPMs should be available on the distribution CD or by download from the Internet.
On Windows, Qube! is compatible with Python versions 2.3 through 2.7.
For Windows, free Python distributions can be downloaded from ActiveState at www.activestate.com.
Perl
This is required only for the Workers running the Perl-based jobtypes:
- Maya
- 3dsMax
- XSI
- mentalray standalone
- migen (Maya->mentalray .mi exporter)
Typically, Linux and Mac OS X come with Perl already installed. If not, RPMs should be available on the distribution CD or by download from the Internet.
For Windows, Qube! is compatible with Perl 5.8 to Perl 5.16. A Windows MSI installer for Strawberry Perl 5.16 is available from http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html:
